- Thanks for another great lesson Nathan. The title of next week's lesson is Being Respectful. The background and lesson passage for next week is Ephesians 6:1-9. Before Sunday, please take a moment to prayerfully read through the passage and prepare for the lesson.
- Happy Belated Birthday to Lauren Holbrook on November 2nd!
- A BIG thanks to Nathan and Ashlee Wallace for organizing, coordinating and executing the First "Finding Common Ground Operation Christmas Child Party!" We enjoyed a great night of fellowship with other LJGs, all while packing 49 shoe boxes that will reach children overseas. Please continue to pray for the children who will be receiving these boxes in the near future. Pray that they would be blessed by the boxes and that they would come to know the love of Christ.

All Explore the Bible teachers for LJGs should plan to meet in room 310 at 5pm on Sunday, November 21 for our Quarterly Teachers Meeting. Next quarter's lessons will cover 1 & 2 Kings. We'll focus on the background of these two books and give some suggested teaching approaches.
Three Matters of Prayer: 1) Thanksgiving: Take a few minutes and thank God for His blessings. Every good and perfect gift is from above. Let Thanksgiving be a good reminder of how God takes care of his people. 2) Feeding of the 5, 000: Ask that God's love will be evident in our community. Our desire is that when people leave our campus they say, "Isn't God good!" 3) Christmas Spectacular: Pray for our choir and musicians as they prepare. Also, pray that we will all use this event to build bridges and that the gospel message will be clear.
"The Art of Marriage": Mark your calendar for February 11-12, 2011. Lawndale will be hosting "The Art of Marriage," a conference sponsored by Family Life (Dennis Rainey). Many of the principles taught in "The Weekend to Remember" will be shared during the conference.

The instructions for "The Home Edition" are in the Leader on the website or printed at the Welcome Desk.
